Composition and nutrient utilization by sheep of ensiled tall fescue with different levels of endophyte infection
Low and high endophyte infected stockpiled tall fescue was harvested, chopped and ensiled in 210 liter metal drums, double lined with polyethylene bags. Endophyte infection averaged 4 and 70%, respectively, for the low- and high-endophyte fescue. A metabolism trial was conducted with 24 wethers fed...
